I've seen a number of good videos on diy dryer repair but this guys video is a veritable "school" for homeowners. The only problem I see is that if you learn from it , you're gonna have all of your friends, neighbors, & family bugging you to come fix their machines! Good luck!

Your video is the very best I have watched. Your camera and audio is excellent . I am new and I look forward to following you. I’m only 71 years old this month and I know that you will be able to show a old dog a few new tricks... Thank you, Bob

This was the best thorough video I’ve seen compared to other videos i thought were detailed, this out blows them all!

I can't believe there's only seven likes because this was an excellent video! You are very patient and well spoken. Thank you.

What a great video. I am currently taking classes at a Polytechnic University for appliance repair. This video is amazing and covers everything we talked about in class. You took the time to not only to explain how but also the why. A lot of great information in under 30 minutes. Thank you.

This is a fantastic piece of knowledge. Great video. I hope everyone with a dryer problem find this video.

One of the best dryer vids.

The Super Thorough Complete Guide for Electric Dryers. YES COMPLETE. Don't waste time looking at the other guys partially complete diagnostic videos!

I tore down and repaired our dryer today using info from your excellent tutorial. After checking things, I found a spade connector from the heater coil to the thermostat had come loose from the wire and burned some of the insulation off. I replaced the connector with a new one and after a test run everything seems to be working fine again. Without watching the video, I would have just guessed and bought a heater coil thus wasting money. Thanks for helping us learn!

This was an EXCELLENT video and it helped me diagnose my problem -- the power supply. I had an intermittent faulty 30v double breaker. Before watching this detailed troubleshooting video I started to make the assumption that the heater element went out as I was not getting heat. It tested just fine. Anyway, thank you so much. And to the trolls that gave this video a thumbs down, well, you know what you can go do!

What a EXCELLENT VIDEO Thank you for your dryer troubleshooting course

The best video about laundry dryer in RU-vid.

Thanks for the comprehensive tutorial. I watch some other videos first and thought I had it fixed. When it still didn't work, your video gave me the confidence to get back in there for some more troubleshooting. What a great feeling when the dryer started right up!

Amazing a concise and intelligent complete how to/troubleshooting video. You sir are a classy individual.

Your instructions solved my Dryer problem and Thank You !!!

This is the most comprehensive repair/troubleshooting tutorial I have found in my search for solutions to repair my family's dryer. We have a Whirlpool Estate manufactured with a three-prong power cord. We had to replace the three-prong with a four-prong cord after we moved to our current address three years ago. We've owned the dryer for about 11 years now; it's simple and sturdy so we'd like to keep it as long as possible. Recently, it wouldn't completely dry a load without two to three runs. It had been awhile since I last opened up the housing to clean it so I decided to complete this task first before checking any of the electrical components. The instant I turned it on after closing it there was a flash and an audible pop behind the panel covering the power cord terminal. When I reopened this portion, I discovered the black cord melted and separated beneath the spade connector. This is not the first time I have opened our dryer to clean it so I am lost as to what and how this happened. Your thoughts on what happened (including if it may have been something I did while cleaning it) and what I can do to fix it (if possible) would be greatly appreciated. Again, thank you for the fantastic tutorial; I will be checking out your other videos.

You are absolutely the best I've seen by far, you couldn't be more thorough in explaining everything, your tutorial has been a tremendous help. Great Job! Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for making this video. It is the most informative one I have seen so far on how to troubleshoot a dryer. Our dryer recently failed to heat but the drum spins and the fan blows, so I'll be checking out the problem tomorrow by following your guidelines. I feel confident now, that I'll be able to locate the problem and fix it myself. Thanks again!

This is the best video out of over half dozen that I watched. Most were good, but not as complete.

The best dryer video on RU-vid. Well Done!

Your motor testing instructions were excellent. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

super tutorial on the dryer parts and how they function. Even helped me better understand my multimeter. Thanks for a great job.

Great video. I knew nothing about the inner workings of an electric dryer before watching this. Fixed the problem like a pro. Thank you.

This an excellent guide. It saved me an expensive service call and overpriced parts. 5 stars!!!

Complete, comprehensive and clear! Thank you a pleasure to watch

very good and informitive video easy to follow; I'm an electrican just checking what kind of information is out there. I would rate this video 5***** JUST BE SURE TO KEEP IN MIND POWER CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION, REMOVING PANELS OR INSTALLING PANELS; DURING TESTS OR MOVING SWITCHES AROUND!!

Great video thank you for taking time to educate us about causes of dryer not working.

EXCELLENT Video! Learned a LOT and I'm ready to jump in and get my dryer fixed 👍🏻 Thank You

I appreciate you posting that because I do have the exact dryer and I needed to test a couple of switches

best comprehensive dryer video i ve seen!

Since my Whirlpool dryer went down because of no heat, *I've been watching a lot of how-to and troubleshooting videos, and by far, this is the best video I've seen.* Even though, I still haven't found the problem of why the heat isn't working on my dryer, this video is very informative and easy to follow. So far, I've ruled out the voltage to the dryer, the thermal cut-off fuse, hi-limit thermostat, and the thermal fuse. I'm just about ready to rule out the dryer timer/motor and the heater element. I'm just hoping that I find the problem before I have to get to that motor under the drum. A note of interest... my dryer is only 2 years old. Thank you, for a great video!

Awesome video. I'm a appliance repairman and I learned something!

Awesome tutorial - thanks! After 2 days of troubleshooting and replacing thermal cutoff/fuse, 2 thermostats, confirm heater and centrifugal switch are ok - I decided to pull the timer again and give it a good cleaning under a magnifying glass. That was t = dryer works fine on all settings!! Thanks again! ...Alan

Very well done tutorial. Thank you for all the details & the explanations on how all dryers work. Best one I have seen thus far.

Well done...........Thank you for sharing your knowledge.....much appreciated!

Very good instructions. Excellent video and sound quality. A very logical step by step guide. Thank you..

Hello , Sir I have seen plenty of tutorials on washers/dryers repairs and yours are number one, easy to follow and understand ,plus showing have to test with the multimeter is the best, you have again a new subscriber ,you and your family have a good and safe day thank you very much

definitely one of the better videos on dryers

At time 10:41 when you start explaining the dryer Lengend when you explain timed position, following that row across this is telling you between what other terminals you should have continuity? If so, this would explain the logic funtion of the schematic. Thanks for this accurate well presented video for the self learners. Great service for RU-vid viewers!

Great info! Thanks for posting!

awesome money saver. Dryers are simple, but method is everything. thanks.

Thanks. Saved me a lot of time. Best troubleshooting video out there. Thumbs up!

this is a very comprehensive video, great detail and explanation, thank you for your time

Excellent very conprehensive. I have always fixed my dryers. but after watching this video, I realize how much I did not know. thank you!

Thanks very much for the lessons.Excellent

Bravo! Very detailed and complete. Easy to understand! Thank you.✨

thank you so much for the info. It was a timer problem and I got it fixed by watching your video.. You saved me some money.

Great walk through. Extremely helpful. Thanks

this was a very helpful video and we really appreciated it. thanks so much

Great video, very detailed, i really learned alot, will help me greatly with my dryer issues.

Had intermittent heating issues....made a custom vacuum attachment from cereal boxes and duct tape and cleaned out the partition where the lint trap fits and it fixed the problem...thanks your are one smart guy....

that's very well done thank you for this video

Super helpful! Thank you for taking the time to share!!!

Thank you so much. So if the reading is low that means something is wrong with the outlet?

You, Sir, are brilliant. Wonderful well presented and useful tube! In my case a loose connection in the wall plate on the black wire prevented the element from producing heat… luckily your good advise said to start by checking if both wires were producing their 120V… that fix the problem pronto! Did also check all other components and did a good cleaning to remove lint. My hat off to you Sir👍😎👍

Finally information is at hand....good video...couple things tho to help you...when you said not to bypass one of the fuses,, you should have also said NEVER BYPASS ANYTHING unless it is in order to quickly check for trouble shooting info. When you tested the element for a short to ground you placed a lead on the dryer body but the element housing was disconnected/removed from ground. Just a couple of bloopers. Otherwise it is obvious to me that you know what it's all about.

Super very nice video ,thanks!!

very informative, thank you...

Started dryer a second time and went to bed. Clothes not fully dry but heat was working. Three hours later it was still running but no heat. Timer doesn't move and no heat now. dryer looks somewhat like the one featured Roper HD EX lg cap 6cyl/3temp GREAT VIDEO !!! Operating temp thermo has 4 connects

Excellent video! Just what I was looking for! I thought it was the timer that was bad, I went through the troubleshooting process, and learned that the timer was bad and everything else appears to be fine. Now I'm not guessing, I'm testing, and I'm going to test the replacement timer when it arrives because I can't return it if it's bad and I installed it.

This tutorial is excellent. I am impressed.

Thanks for getting back to me. Dryer running great again.

Best, very thorough and detailed.

Great video. Very helpful. Saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you so much for posting it. Greatly appreciated. :)

Thank you. Very well inform

Thank you so much! This is great training video!

The most complete how to video i've ever seen

Excellent video and it help me with all that I needed and more. Thanks!!!!

Great video, very, very informative.

Great video! Very well detailed n has helped me out very much.....! Thank u for posting such a great video!!

thank you for taking the time to educate

very nice presentation. I rarely comment, but this deserves recognition

extremely helpful

Very good video. I've checked all of that. Replaced the timer, start switch, thermal fuses, direct wired the motor and it and the motor switch work properly. But it still won't start. When the timer is set on 3 of the 4 off positions and the start button is pushed, the end of cycle buzzer will buzz. In any other position on the timer, nothing happens at all. Going to try a tone probe next to see if there's a short in any of the wiring.

Very useful. Thank you.

Gave this a thumbs up and suscribed. Very nice tutorial. Hope the rest of your videos are this thorough

Thank you. Good job on the video.

Straight forward. No B.S.. No rock concert in the background. Great.

Absolutely perfect vid!

Thank you for an excellent video. My parents owned an appliance repair store, and I often feel like I channel my dad when repairing, and you remind me of that. I've run into a problem that your video does not seem to address. On a Frigidaire with a momentary start knob, it will normally start after briefly holding the knob. But now I need to hold it for a long time; the dryer starts, but may stop if I release the knob. It does start after a few tries with a long hold. Suggestion?

I can't thank you enough for this video sir.

Awesome video!

You rock man I have been dealing with this issue with thermal fuse for a year. Great video!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice easy to understand, thanks

good video thank

Thanks again

Great video

Some dryers (Kenmore) have also a switch called the "belt switch" ; if the belt breaks the system will not start at all. It is located on the bottom, next to the belt tensioner.

GOOD VIDEO , !!! NICE JOB !

Informative

Thanks for posting this detailed, informative video. One question: Where all of these tests done with the power cord plugged into the wall outlet of 240? Or was the dryer disconnected to perform these tests? Thanks again.

that very good information foe me love it thanks

very helpful..

Saved me $400.00 by replacing $12 thermal fuse. Thank you very much!!

Very nice video, give it 2 thumbs up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice video!!! please do gas dryers( step by step) troubleshooting as well.....!!

wow great stuff.....thanx

Thank you

When I test different components with a multimeter fo ohms resistance, I disconnect one of the terminals. Do you not do this? Btw, the link does not seem to work for me. I type in something, hit Done, and it brings me back here.
